Description

Each of the 5 voice parts in this song has just one repeated phrase, which has a different rhythm & different words, as well as different notes from the others. The parts can all be sung at the same time or in various groupings, & the sound changes with each combination. Although there are a few clashes & cross rhythms, each voice part is fairly straightforward & you don’t have to include them all, so I’ve categorised this song as Easy & Quick.

I wrote this layered song after I left Social Services & became a self-employed singing workshop leader. I was so excited about this change that, for a while, I thought everyone should give up their ‘proper’ jobs & follow their dreams. I’m so glad I made the change I did, but I realise now that being self-employed isn’t for everybody… & these days I sometimes dream of a decent pension!
